A very good morning Singapore. And this might be one of those post where 90% of my existing readers can just give a miss. Yes, it's about basketball and about NBA once again. Does that interest you? No ?
We are going to take a look at 1 of my current supported player - Gilbert Arenas aka Agent 0 and his Gun Possession Saga. How are the Wizards doing with and without Gilbert ? What actually happened ? And what is going to happen next ?
Life haven't been that great Since Agent 0 was last feat on NBA 08's cover. A great 2 season of injury and lots of negative reports on him. The 111 million dollar signing didn't do him any better, Wizards Fans was screaming that 111 million dollar could do the team much more than signing a "bench" player. I have no complain cause I believe in him as I'm both an Arenas and Wizards Fan. So we are all done with waiting and the stink Wizards had when Arenas was not around is all over ( so I thought ) when it's reported that Arenas is going to start the season. Wiz ended the season with a 19-63 record, it's almost as if the players played with 1 arm all the time. Looking at how Wade brought life back to the heats get me all excited about Arenas coming back. Will Arenas bring the Wizards to the finals ?? That was what I was asking myself, with addition like Mike and Randy. Nothing seems impossible for Wizards less injury. I was partly right, injury did course lots of disruption to the team. Before the season tip off one of the "big 3" Jamison was out. Bulter didn't play as well as the 19-63 season and just when all eyes was on how well Mike move the ball around, he too got injured. I was wrong, injury wasn't the only thing which could have gotten in the way, the guns did as well. To be frank even with Arenas back in the starting line up for the past 38 games, the Wizards weren't doing exactly well. Their direction was pretty unclear, it was obvious that Flip wanted Arenas to be a better point guard. Arenas wanted to pass the ball more and move it much and support the team but sorry to say that it's all easier to be said then done. The ball movement of the team was pretty bad and this new game didn't do any good for the "prince" Bulter and in fact I felt that there is some issue with the "Return of the King" and the "Fresh Prince of Washington 08/09 "
If you have been following the saga and all, we should know by now that Arenas has been suspended by NBA and what I last read that he might even be jailed for up to 6 months. So the story was about him and fella teammate Javaris Crittenton ( U have no idea who he is? Tat's fine, he's not 1 of those super star anyway. ) had a lil argument on the flight and Mr.I-did-not-play-any-game-and-i-like-to-talk aka Crittenton mention something like he could shoot somebody. And according to online source this was how the saga started and it all ended at the locker room when Gilbert brought out unregistered piston and taut Crittenton to pick one and shoot him. We can't blame Crittenton for what he had said for the action of Gilbert. The team is going through a rough patch ( 14 - 26 ) and this is the last thing we want to see as a fan. I felt that the pressure on Wizards was too much for them. All the "Agent 0 is back" and how well are they going to do and with "Flip" in the picture everything will be so great for the Wizards.
What is going to happen to the Wizards ? What will happen to Gilbert ? The team just got themselves two clean win since the absence of Gilbert. Is it too early to tell that Wizards are doing better without him ? Will Wizards be able to "drop the bomb" and have more caps to get another player before the trading window closes ? If Wizards is dropping Gilbert for the caps, will there be any other team who will need Arenas's service ? Will Gilbert seriously be jailed for possession of unregister gun? For sure Gilbert is out of the star factory but will he even be out of NBA ? Is this the end of him ? I am pretty sad to see a bright star's career just end like this. Although he did not come back to the season with the performance he was showing 3 yrs back but he did already did his contribution and was recognize by the rest back then.
For the best of for the worst, Gilbert have my support for sure ! ( For the game, not for bring weapons around )
